Athletistic/Tennis. Recently, Ukrainian athletes often refuse to shake hands with their Russian colleagues. However, today, January 20, at the Junior Australian Open, everything happened differently. Russian Vlada Mincheva and Ukrainian Elizaveta Kotlyar shook hands. The President of the Russian Tennis Federation, Shamil Tarpishchev, spoke about this.
– They were great at doing that. Tennis has always stood out among other sports. Sport is outside of politics – this has been proven,” Tarpishchev was quoted as saying by TASS.
Note that the Russian won in two sets – 6:2, 6:4.
